After leaving Victoria Harbor, because of Mitch and his gang, their moods were destroyed so they went straight home. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Tonight, a lot of people in Harbor City could not sleep.

This entire city fell into a dense cloud of dismal.

However, Jasper got himself a rare good night’s sleep.

He had not had the chance to rest for the past few days because of the time difference and having to follow up on the stock market in the United States. He had to be prepared for the burst of the dot-com bubble at any time.

Now, the bubble had burst and the storm had arrived in Harbor City.

Jasper slept soundly tonight, and he only woke up because of the blaring alarm clock the next morning.

After washing up and eating some breakfast, he walked to the living room.

At this moment, Zach and his team were already in position.

When they saw Jasper, everyone got up enthusiastically and greeted him.

Due to the exceptional results yesterday, Jasper was now the true stock god in their hearts.

As such, even if Jasper told them the sun was square, they would lift their heads to look at it seriously.

“My dad as well as Mr. Lane and his gang have gone to Clark Duvall. I think they’re discussing the countermeasure for dealing with this.”

When Anna saw Jasper walking over, she walked over to him and said.

After nodding, Jasper said, “We should have news by afternoon.”

While he was saying that, the trading had commenced.

At the same time, the trading commencement of Harbor Stocks had attracted the attention of a lot of people.

At this moment, the entire Harbor City went silent. Everyone was watching the changing of Harbor Stocks.

It was not out of everyone’s expectations. After the commencement, the stocks started to plummet wildly.

The plummet yesterday was enough to make Harbor City famous around the world, but it was as if that was not enough. The wealth and riches of Harbor City were evaporating amidst the bitter plummet.

Now, even the most impulsive investors were silenced. Everyone looked as if they were numb.

Everyone’s faces were as gray as ash.

They could only watch as Harbor Stocks continued to plummet.

Everyone’s moods were like the plummeting numbers. They felt as if they were falling down a cliff and they could never reach the bottom.

“The Hansel Index fell by 800 points after the commencement and it’s reaching the gateway of 8,000 points.”

Zack was announcing the situation of the market.

At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous and felt strange in their hearts.

Jasper looked at the time on the screen. It had only been 30 seconds since the commencement.

They had a slump of 800 points in only 30 seconds.

It seemed that this mysterious hand would not be satisfied if it did not completely destroy Harbor City.

“There’s another two billion from a put option short seller! The Hansel Index dropped by another 180 points! It’s now at 7,813 points!”

Zack’s voice sounded again.

Jasper furrowed his brows tightly.

That mysterious fund finally bared its fangs after failing to control itself.

“Give up on the shorts we have now. Let’s hedge this two billion,” Jasper ordered.

Zack was stumped for words.

The more the Hansel Index fell, the more money the party that was waiting for it to drop would make. However, Jasper was now asking them to hedge the other party while facing the destruction of the economy of Harbor Stocks.

Hedging meant that Jasper would buy what the other party sold.

The more the other party sold, the more Jasper would buy.

That way, there would be two successful transactions and it would stop the plummeting Hansel Index from dipping even more.

There was another name for it, and it was called the protection of the market.

Jasper was going to protect the market of Harbor Stocks.

However, a second later, Zack quickly realized this was not the time to space out. Hence, he quickly did what Jasper told him to do.

At the same time, Zack started to feel a surge in his heart.
